The current research work, entitled ?Milton Santos: Global Thought and Education? presents a study on the intellectual Milton Santos (1926 ? 2001), a professor who intensely fuels the debate about elements which are part of the world reality and, especially the Brazilian one. The questioning that surrounded such study was based on the need of constant investigations about the historical complexity of present, the contradictory reality in which Education is inserted, as well as that Education might be understood and transformed into this social-historical context and take some posture which is contrary to the capital logic. We kept our research into the study of the concepts of ?Space?, ?Globalization?, `Globalitarism?, ?Only thought?, ?Universal Thought?, ?Citizenship? and ?Experience?, ?wisdom of lack? which represent some of the theoretical elements that match with professor Milton Santos?s thoughts, making a parallel with the formal contemporary Brazilian Education. Based on the theoretical methodological assumptions of the Marxist theory, we sought to locate the problematic in the macro-structural context, relating it to the particularities of the concepts studied, trying to make a parallel with the totality social classes struggle, contradiction and hegemony. The study about MILTON concepts provide analytical subsidies for the understanding of the social-historical contemporary context in which the policies for the formal Brazilian Education are and where discussions regarding its transformation are postulated. We tried to establish, according to the MILTON concept of intellectual, its relevancy for the organization and social mobilization, as well as its relation to Education. The research made by the intellectual Milton Santos shows the dimension of the fundaments of a new Geography, and although it is not a common reference in the Education field, the concepts made by him contribute to the comprehension of a real representation of the social context in which Education is inserted, and therefore, we considered the importance of the detailed examination about his thought. However, we do not intend to use up the discussions around Professor Milton Santos thoughts with this research, but only raise the knowledge and debate about part of the concepts present in his work for the real theoretical and practical coping turned to the debate on Education, History of Education, Education Policy, development and performance of intellectuals throughout history Brazil.

▼ Through this bibliographic and documental research we have prepared an analysis of the bookkeeping evolution from 20th century on. We has also made a retrospect of past years to base the work development. During the research evolution we came to the conclusion that accounting, was the beginning use by tradesmen only to control their business without concerning formal, normative and technical aspects in order to elaborate this same accounting and its results. Evolution of accounting along the times has determined the preoccupation with standardization, and normalization regarding the correct application of the law, with clear goals of achieving criterion and bookkeeping systems as well a regulation of the verification of taxes over the results. In the Brazilian context the evolution of accounting demonstrates clear influence of legislation being through the commercial code published in 1850 or through special laws of income taxes. We also have the legislation of public governmental departments over the financial market (Banco Central) and movable market (CVM - Comiss??o de Valores Mobili??rios). During the research development we have come to the conclusion that the fight of Brazilian scholars in order to recognize this profession, create a labour union, regulation, fiscalization and the creation of special courses to guide new professionals was also very important. In this work, through bibliographic and documental research we tried to show all the steps taken to ensure the solidification, harmonization and standardization of accounting or bookkeeping rules, making it possible to developing Brazilian accounting.

The present study aims to analyze the perceptions of students and parents of a 2nd Cycle of a Secondary Education Angolan School, with the objective of preventing bullying, through individual and collective dialogue and accountability in the educational community. The selection of bullying for this study is due to the fact that it is a worrying phenomenon, which has been increasing the levels of violence in the school. This has contributed to the dissatisfaction of many students, given the confrontation between victims and perpetrators, in the indoor and outdoor school spaces, especially in the playground. With the above presented objective, a quantitative research has been carried out, developing and applying two questionnaire surveys to students and their respective parents/ caregivers. The analysis of the obtained data confirms that, in relation to the bullying issue, the respondents are aware of the importance of dialogue, empathy, accountability and information/
training of members of the educational community. Globally, the teacher is considered essential in helping victims and preventing cases of bullying. However, there is not always the necessary family dialogue, and many parents are unaware of the involvement of children in situations of violence. Then, it can be concluded that the prevention of bullying involves a joint effort between the school and the family, based on dialogue and collaborative work in the community.

The thesis analyses Rubem Fonsecas and Pedro Juan Gutiérrezs fiction under the point of view of abjection, disgust, shock and trauma, their similarities and differences, starting with the different notions of Realism and reaching dirty realism expression used to identify a generation of young American and Latinamerican writers that started to publish in the 1980s. It also broaches the strategies to deal with dictatorship in Brazil and in Cuba, drawing a brief map of the contemporary Cuban literary scenario. Finally, the work discusses the empty realism, which is marked by the loss of the faith in the Utopia. The project is supported by the theoretical categories used by Hal Foster, Julia Kristeva and Mário Perniola.

▼ The main purpose of this work is to study the historical evolution of the Accounting, within the approach of European and American schools, in order to show clearly their contributions to the statements of accounting information in Brazil. The research starts with the historical evolution of the accounting in its general context, since the basic knowledge of the registration systems, the dissemination of the writing, the influences of the peoples and the society in general, reaching the double entries and their adaptation to the accounting customs and uses in each respective period of time. After that, the involved schools are analysed separately in order to understand their theorical conceptions and structural and methodological aspects, concomitantly with the presentation of their contributors with their respective currents of thought. The American school has its current of thought directed to a financial accounting focusing the business management, with its reports aiming the takings of decisions, while the European school is more involved with the philosophy and science of the accounting. We come to the conclusion that the American school is the one that has brought more contribution to the evidences in the accounting information in Brazil, with its effective and objective managerial reports, facilitating the takings of decisions and the management of the involved business. However, we do not neglect the importance of the European school, whit its contribution to the scientific development of the accounting.

This dissertation is the result of an investigation about the practice of the pedagogue who acts in Technology-Mediated Teaching in the Center of Media of Education of the State of Amazonas (CEMEAM) and intends to show how its performance is constituted in a perspective in which Information and Communication Technologies Are in the process. In order to have a better understanding of the development of the study, a brief analysis of the trajectory of Pedagogy in Brazil was carried out in the light of theoretical references, identifying the historical processes until the pedagogical reflection in the digital era. In this bias, the changes in pedagogical work were punctuated with the inclusion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the teaching and learning process. The main objective was to know how the work process of the pedagogical team developed at CEMEAM was built, addressing the advances / retreats, strengths / weaknesses, with the purpose of
evaluating and presenting suggestions for strengthening pedagogical actions at the study site. The research uses a qualitative approach and was carried out at the CEMEAM locus, being produced by methodological steps configured by procedural steps that organized the entire structure of the study. The results show that the CEMEAM pedagogy has peculiarities in its practice, because its attributions require a specialization in the light of the use of ICTs, in a context of relationship with distance education and presence mediated by technology.

The software reengineering becomes important because of the need that organizations have in adjusting to new trends, technologies and user requirements. The term organization should be understood like universities or companies that develop software for use by a large number of people. Thinking about the adequacy of users requirements, is presented in this work the reengineering process of a software called Cognitor, which is a tool designed to support teachers in the process of creating electronic teaching materials. The need to reengineer Cognitor was perceived through a case study where several changes were pointed by users. Some of these changes are: text editor improvement, preview of the images that are inserted in the content pages, feedback to the users, among others. During the reengineering of this software, it was formalized a software reengineering process model, user-centered, for the conversion of desktop applications in RIAs (Rich Internet Application), called UC-RIA (User Centered Rich Internet Application). The process model was named as UC-RIA due to the participation of the potential users during the applications reengineering process, because they were involved in prototyping and in validation of the graphical interfaces of the new version. The results of this study show the capability of the proposed software reengineering model to be used as a support in organizations for the reengineering of their software, mainly because it inserts the users in the reengineering process during the applications Prototyping phase, bringing software to users real needs.

Based on educational sociolinguistics, this work presents results of a research whose objective was to analyze how schools face the linguistic variety of their public in the teaching of Portuguese language. To perform this research, I employed a mixed methodology - qualitative and quantitative - through questionnaires and interviews. The individuals chosen were teachers and students of a school of the municipal network of Geraniums, in the state of Pernambuco. The theoretical support included the following categories: Linguistic Variety, School Culture and Pedagogical Practice. I worked especially with the next authors: Bortone Ricardo (2007), Bagno (1999, 2002), Bakhtin (2009, 2012), Bourdieu (1996, 2008), Burke (2010), Saussure (1989), Williams (1999, 2011). The analysis of the qualitative data was according to the French line Discourse Analysis (DA) (Orlandi, 2005). I analyzed quantitative data according to the SPSS (Statistical Pack for the Social Science). The
results pointed to a pedagogical practice based on traditional methods, centered on the systematic teaching of the language from an authoritative way, disregarding the…
